Bangalore Open Air is back for its fifth edition! The
festival that has hosted some of the biggest names, including Iced Earth,
Napalm Death, Kreator, Rotting Christ, among many others returns for its fifth
consecutive edition on 9th of July at Royal Orchid Resorts in Yelankha,
Bangalore.

This year, the show is headlined by the legendary Polish
death metal band VADER. Also on the line up are Canadian heavy metal act
SKULLFIST and Egyptian-American artist NADER-SADEK (which also features Tom
Geldschlager – Obscura, Thor Anders Myhren – Morbid Angel, Hannes Grossmann –
Necrophagist and Dominic Lapointe- Beyond Creation). Also on the line-up are
Bangadesh based death metal act SEVERE DEMENTIA, the local death-thrash act
INNER SANCTUM and Mumbai grove act PROVIDENCE.

Sadly, Soilwork who were previously announced to be a part
of the festival will not make it, as seemingly their visas have been denied by
the embassy. The band took to social media and addressed the fans, promising to try their best to come to the
country soon.
